Abstract

A drilling and bolting tool includes a drill feed for driving a bit to form a hole in a rock surface, a cable feed system, and a resin system. The drill feed includes a frame and a drill head supported on the frame. The cable feed system is coupled to the drill feed, and the cable feed system includes a cable drive for driving a cable into the hole. The resin system includes a hose in fluid communication with a resin supply. The resin system further including a hose drive system for selectively extending the hose into the hole and retracting the hose from the hole.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A drilling and bolting tool comprising:
 a drill feed for driving a bit to form a hole in a rock surface, the drill feed including a frame and a drill head supported on the frame;   a cable feed system coupled to the drill feed, the cable feed system including a cable drive for driving a cable into the hole; and   a resin system including a hose in fluid communication with a resin supply, the resin system further including a hose drive system for selectively extending the hose into the hole and retracting the hose from the hole.   
     
     
         2 . The drilling and bolting tool of  claim 1 , wherein the cable feed system includes a hydraulic actuator for applying tension on the cable. 
     
     
         3 . The drilling and bolting tool of  claim 1 , wherein the cable feed system includes a cutter for cutting the cable at a position outside of the hole while leaving a portion of the cable within the hole. 
     
     
         4 . The drilling and bolting tool of  claim 1 , further comprising a consumables magazine supported on the frame, the magazine configured to store at least one of a drill bit, a bolt, and an adaptor. 
     
     
         5 . The drilling and bolting tool of  claim 1 , further comprising a lock plate storage magazine supported on the frame, the lock plate magazine storing a plurality of lock plates, each of the lock plates configured to be positioned adjacent the cable. 
     
     
         6 . The drilling and bolting tool of  claim 1 , wherein the resin system includes a hose guide for directing the hose into the hole as the hose is extended. 
     
     
         7 . The drilling and bolting tool of  claim 1 , wherein the drill head includes a chuck for engaging a drill bit, the drill head being supported for translational movement relative to the frame along an axis. 
     
     
         8 . The drilling and bolting tool of  claim 1 , wherein at least a portion of the hose is supported on a reel, wherein the reel is supported on one of a chassis and a boom of mining machine. 
     
     
         9 . The drilling and bolting tool of  claim 1 , further comprising a screen handling device coupled to the frame. 
     
     
         10 . A drilling and bolting tool comprising:
 a drill feed for driving a bit to form a hole in a rock surface, the drill feed including a frame and a drill head supported on the frame, the drill head including a chuck for engaging a drill bit and a motor for rotating the chuck, the drill head supported for movement relative to the frame along an axis; and   a cable feed system coupled to the frame, the cable feed system including a cable drive for driving a cable into the hole, a hydraulic actuator for applying tension on the cable, and a cutter configured to cut the cable at a position outside of the hole while leaving a portion of the cable within the hole.   
     
     
         11 . The drilling and bolting tool of  claim 10 , further comprising a consumables magazine supported on the frame, the magazine configured to store at least one of a drill bit, a bolt, and an adaptor. 
     
     
         12 . The drilling and bolting tool of  claim 10 , further comprising a lock plate storage magazine supported on the frame, the lock plate magazine storing a plurality of lock plates, each of the lock plates configured to be positioned adjacent the cable. 
     
     
         13 . The drilling and bolting tool of  claim 10 , further comprising a hose guide coupled to the drill feed, the hose guide configured to direct a hose into the hole as the hose is extended. 
     
     
         14 . The drilling and bolting tool of  claim 10 , further comprising a screen handling device coupled to the frame, the screen handling device including an actuator for engaging a portion of a screen. 
     
     
         15 . A drilling and bolting tool comprising:
 a drill feed for driving a bit to form a hole in a rock surface, the drill feed including a frame and a drill head supported on the frame, the drill head including a chuck for engaging a drill bit and a motor for rotating the chuck, the drill head supported for movement relative to the frame along an axis; and   a resin system including a resin supply, a hose in fluid communication with the resin supply, and a hose drive system for selectively extending the hose into the hole and retracting the hose from the hole.   
     
     
         16 . The drilling and bolting tool of  claim 15 , wherein the resin system includes a hose guide for directing the hose into the hole as the hose is extended. 
     
     
         17 . The drilling and bolting tool of  claim 15 , wherein the resin system includes a reel supporting at least a portion of the hose as the hose is extended and retracted, the reel supported on a chassis or a boom of mining machine. 
     
     
         18 . The drilling and bolting tool of  claim 15 , further comprising a consumables magazine supported on the frame, the magazine configured to store at least one of a drill bit, a bolt, and an adaptor. 
     
     
         19 . The drilling and bolting tool of  claim 15 , further comprising a lock plate storage magazine supported on the frame, the lock plate magazine storing a plurality of lock plates, each of the lock plates configured to be positioned adjacent the hole.
